Arrangements have finally been com
pleted for a mounted sword contest, which

Western Union Telegraph Company.

New YORK, March 9-At the meeting of the
directors of the Western Union Telegraph
Company. to-day, president Norvin Green SUBJ
mitted the regular quarterly report. 1t is as
follows The net revenues OF the quarter end
ing March 81 inst. based upon nearly completed
returns for February. and estimating tho bust
ness for March. will be about $3.50 000 add sur
plus, Jan l. SIS $40. giving total of Sc 921-
SO; from which appropriating for interest on
bonds $123. 470. and sinking fund $40, 000 leaves
a balance of $6, 779, $40. There has been a large
increase over the corresponding quarter of the
previous year in the volume of business and a
handsome increase IN gross revenues for the
land-line service, which was coun terbaIanced
by loss of revenues from cable service and by
increased expenses incident to the greater mum
Der of messages handled, and for extensive re-
constructions. The outlay for extensions, ad-
dtional wires and for insulated wires, with q
view of getting the wires off the roles in New
York and Brooklyn, has been very large, and
must continue fer a time to absorb large part
Of the ret earnings. The committee recommend
that no dividend be declared. A resolution was
passed that. with the consent OF the stock
holders, the stock of the company should be in
creased by 81 600, to take up scrip to tina,
amount issued last April.

WAsHINGToN, March 9.-Democratic members
of Congress, and others who have access to the
President and who have talked to him about
the matter, say there is no possibility of an ex-
ira session of Congress this spring. The i'm

with some it is firm belief, that the Fiftieth
Congress will be called together before the reg

IN October-in order that some importan. legis-

the holiday recess Congress rarely ever passes
any laws until after the holidays, and it is
thought probable that the President, in view of

Premature Rejoicing.

WASHINGTON. March 9.-The agricultural col
leges the land over are flying their flags, and
people who are especially interested in them are
rejoicing in consequence of the passage of the
decentralization bill; but question has arisen
which would appear to indicate that the DEM
onstrations are premature. The fifth section
Of the bill, the only one relating to appro-
priations, says 1.-THE sum OF $4,000 is here
by appropriated to each State, to be specially
provided for by Congress in the appropriations

lands, the first payment to be made on the LIST
